On Oyo APC primaries, Agbaje observed with dismay why and how the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC that could conduct free and fair primary at the presidential level allowed what he described as shenanigans, irregularities, alterations of delegates’ list and scores’ allocations in Oyo state during its governorship primary election. He charged APC leadership to look into Oyo matters before it’s too late.
He expressed surprise on how the exercise was characterised with impunity for which there are credible evidences as a witness.
Agbaje also lauded President Muhammad Buhari for ensuring a free, fair and credible primary at the presidential level, devoid of manipulation and imposition contrary to the wishes of anti democratic forces in the APC.
